A billion dollars is indeed a huge number, but taking a step back, the appeal of the name "Renly-Hall" is far more than a billion dollars. This is true both in London and in Hollywood.

"I said it before, it depends on whether Renly is willing to go back to London for a walk." After hearing Matthew's proposal, Andre also looked at Renly with a smile on his face, and his words became lighthearted.

Even Andy, who was sitting beside him for a while, said in agreement, "If this is the case, I still have some small savings."

Andre and Matthew both cast their gazes at Andy in surprise, Andy could sense their surprise, and he couldn't help but joke, "Don't look at me so expectantly, I may change at any time. The idea." Andy then explained, "I am also looking for investment opportunities, and venture capital funds are a good choice. If it is to invest in Renly, I am familiar with this transaction, and this is a trustworthy investment."

With a pun intended, Andy once again showed his trust in Renly.

Ren Li shook his head lightly, a slight arc was raised on the corner of his mouth, a touch of emotion filled his chest, and the warmth was slowly surging. Se and the others still couldn't fully entrust their trust, but now they sent the signal in a more direct way, which made Renly a little gaffe.

However, Renly managed to control himself in time, without showing it on the surface, and responded in a mocking manner, "You put all the pressure on my shoulders like this, but you will suffer. If you lose money then, then But it's really nothing."

Matthew answered lightly, "It doesn't matter, I know your home address and bank password."

The light and airy way of expression created a strong counter-effect of cold humor, which made Andy and Andre both smile.

Renly shrugged lightly, "Missing friends."

Andre took over the conversation with a smile, "Why don't the venture capital fund use your name? Although we are closely related to Sisyphus Films, if we use the same name directly, others may not be able to really trust it. It's simpler and more direct to use your name."

Hall Ventures.

"I personally have no objection, as long as you don't use my name to create a Ponzi scheme, okay?" Renly joked lightly, then looked at Andre, "I know your family too. Address. More importantly, I know your brother."

Andre's head was full of black lines, and he rolled his eyes at Renly speechlessly, and then he directly ignored Renly's ridicule, "I will complete the deal with Sony next, buy the crack, and then prepare for the follow-up matters. . So, do you have any further suggestions for the film and series projects?"

"No." Renly shook his head neatly, without hesitation for a second, "You'll be busy with Crack and VC funds, and then Andy and Arthur will be in charge of the budget for these projects, picking the right ones, as long as they're within the budget. , you can go directly into filming and production.”

"Since we are now ready to build our own streaming media platform, the more original works, the better. I will talk to Robert and Ethan on the phone to discuss the possibility of building our own Sundance Channel, or whether it is independent. Movie channels. In fact, we can also consider partnering with other independent film companies to let them also put their works on our streaming platform.”

Renly said it casually, and then he noticed the strange gazes from Andy and Andre, but he took it for granted, "Is there something wrong? We are an independent film company ourselves, different from those large film companies, our future It will definitely stick to this path more, so if other companies of the same type are willing to share the copyright of the film source with us, why not?"

Renly's way of thinking is pure filmmaker mode.

But Andy and Andre are business models: Features! Renly had just inadvertently spoken about what makes Sisyphus Pictures' streaming platform unique.

Every product or brand needs a feature that opens up the situation, and streaming media platforms are no exception—or, especially, online platforms with extremely fierce competition. Otherwise, why would Netflix insist on expanding its original creations? What about the content library?

Sisyphus Pictures’ streaming media platform has already fallen behind many competitors, not to mention whether they hope to catch up with their competitors, even if they gain a firm foothold in the industry, they all need to have a clearer positioning and thinking. Apparently, Renly had just given this frame unintentionally.

"I think it's better for our streaming platform to be called Don Quixote, right?" Andre's whole thought became clear, "Compared to Sisyphus, Don Quixote seems more suitable, you say Woolen cloth?"

Don Quixote and Sisyphus are both tragic figures, one trapped in his own illusory idealism, the other in a cruel cycle that can never be completed. The difference is that Don Quixote is a dreamer who is defeated by reality, while Sisyphus is an executor who refuses to give up until he reaches the finish line.

Neither Matthew nor Andy had a problem, but turned their attention to Renly.

Renly nodded lightly, "Of course you can, why not?"

In fact, the name of the streaming media platform is just a symbol. What really determines the development prospects is the content. This is a platform where content is king. However, Andre's meaning couldn't be clearer: the name is both a positioning and a feature. It clearly defines him at the outset.

Their development direction and tone, which is undoubtedly very important information for subscribers.

Then, Andy and Andre asked some questions about the two project lists, and after determining the basic direction, the two left in tandem.

Once again, only Renly and Matthew were left in the apartment.

The quietness after the hustle and bustle disappeared, and the mood slowly settled down. Renly began to read the script again. Although two lists had already been drawn up and most of the project mountain had been emptied, there were still about 60 left. Seventy items had not been read through, and Renly still had to finish them.

Subconsciously, he reached out to look for the red wine glass, but after groping for a long time, he couldn't find it. When he raised his head, he found that the coffee table had been cleaned up, and the red wine and red wine glass had disappeared; then, Matthew could be seen walking away with the tea set Come here, the fragrance of tea is slowly lingering in the house.

"You drank too much today." Matthew put the tea set on the coffee table and said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Ren Li thought about it for a while, and then realized that he had been drinking a lot without realizing it. No wonder his ears were starting to get slightly hot now.

Matthew put the teacup in front of Renly. "I made green tea. And two drops of vinegar."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Renly's slightly frowning brows, showing a look of disgust. Despite this, Renly picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully, and then Matthew continued, "Do you need a cookie? ?"

Renly didn't answer, grabbing a biscuit straight from the china plate.

Matthew also readjusted his sitting position and sorted out the brochures scattered on the sofa and coffee table, "Do you regret it?" Without warning, Matthew asked, "You just want to be an actor, don't you? ?"

"Peter Parker only wants to be a high school student," Renly said jokingly, then he fell silent, chewing on the biscuits, before continuing, "I'm still a Actor. You know, actually sometimes, I still miss the days of filming 'Buried Alive' and 'Crazy in Love' more. It's not that fame and popularity are a burden, but life was simpler and purer back then. It was like everyone We all miss our childhood, we all think we miss those playful times, but we miss those carefree years.”

"Your childhood doesn't seem to be carefree," Matthew spit out.

Renly burst out laughing. "I got it. But you know what I mean. I just think, sometimes, life is good when it's simple." After a moment's pause, the corners of Renly's mouth rose. When he got up, his eyes brightened again, "But didn't Peter Parker's uncle say it? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. After all, we need to grow up, and after all, we need to bear our corresponding responsibilities, some of which are family responsibilities, Some are corporate responsibility, some are social responsibility.”

Matthew watched Renly silently.

Everyone thinks that creating Sisyphus Pictures and getting to the top of the Hollywood pyramid is a glorious thing, but it is an unnecessary burden for Renly. Although it sounds a little unsure, after all, Renly's brilliance is the object of envy of countless people, and most of them can't reach the heights of their whole lives. The desired goal is not necessarily the height that Renly pursues.

Your honey, my arsenic. Although it is not appropriate to describe it like this, it also proves that different positions and different mentalities have different perspectives on the same thing. Sisyphus Pictures, in a way, was a burden for Renly, even if it was a sweet burden, it was still a burden.

"I am an actor. I was, I am, and I will be in the future. The only difference is that I am now within my power to create a better environment for independent films, and I hope more Don Quixotes Being able to realize my dream. From another perspective, it is actually creating a better performance environment for myself, isn't it?"

Nobody wants to grow up if they can; but the reality is that everybody grows up, and everybody dies. A short life can interpret many different possibilities, so why not choose a positive one?

Renly said with a smile, "I consider myself lucky. That's a good thing."

"Well." Matthew didn't say much, just picked up his teacup. The two of them tasted tea quietly like this, but only themselves can know the taste of tea leaves on the tip of the tongue.
